The Mexican east-coast city of Chetumal is currently hosting a 3 star FIVB World Tour event that bears its name. In it, Mexican fans were able to see the country’s new faces of beach volleyball. Mexico fielded four teams for the event, and six of its eight athletes, all under 20 years of age, made their international debuts.

France’s Adrian Caravano and Yann Faure, Russia’s Maksim Hudyakov and Ruslan Bykanov, Serbia’s Lazar Kolaric and Djordje Klasnic and Dutch duo Ruben Penninga and Tom van Steenis each won a pair of matches to advance to the Round of 16.

Agatha Bednarczuk/Eduarda ‘Duda’ Santos Lisboa of Brazil and the reigning champions, Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst of Germany have claimed their spots in the women’s finals of the 2017 FIVB World Tour Finals.
